In this brilliant bookpart memoir, part detective story, and part biblical studyScott Hahn opens up new vistas on ancient landscapes while shedding light on his own enduring faith journey.
The Fourth Cupnot only tracks the authors gradual conversion along the path of Evangelicalism to the doorsteps of the Catholic faith, but also explores the often obscure and misunderstood rituals of Passover and their importance in foreshadowing salvation in Jesus Christ.
Revealing the story of his formative years as an often hot headed student and earnest seeker in search of answers to great biblical mysteries, Hahn shows how his ardent exploration of the Bibles Old Testament turned up intriguing clues connecting the Last Supper and Christs death on Calvary.
As Hahn tells the story of his discovery of the supreme importance of the Passover in Gods plan of salvation, we too experience often overlooked relationships between Abel, Abraham, and the Hebrews liberation from slavery in Egypt.
Along the way, Hahn reveals how the traditional fourth cup of wine used in the concluding celebration of Passover explains in astonishing ways Christs paschal sacrifice.
Rooted in Scripture and ingrained with lively history, The Fourth Cupdelivers a fascinating view of the bridges that span old and new covenants, and celebrates the importance of the Jewish faith in understanding fully Christs life, death, and resurrection.
